Run Away

She was just an average blue-eyed
 Golden high school dream
 An illusion nothing real could ever touch
 Funny love seemed so much more intense
 At seventeen
 When I knew she'd never love me
 Half as much
 
 I recall the desperate vow I made
 I must find a way somehow to win her heart
 I've got to make her mine
 ♪
 Gonna run away
 Till I prove that I'm a man
 Gonna run away
 Be the best I know I can
 Got to run away
 Got to find my space and time
 And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
 ♪
 Trades were made for promises
 Of a timeless memory
 And I knew but still refused to comprehend
 The fantasy more glamorous
 Then she could ever be
 Was the course of least resistance
 In the end

 I recall the desperate vow I made
 I must find a way somehow to win her heart

 Gonna run away
 Till I prove that I'm a man
 Gonna run away
 Be the best I know I can
 Got to run away
 Got to find my space and time
 And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine
 ♪
 Long ago an innocence
 Lived deep within my soul
 In a yesterday where love
 And dreams remain
 
 But disillusion clouds my eyes
 And the winter takes it's toll
 For the spring has gone
 And will not come again

 I must find a way somehow to win her heart
